"We've been touring for almost 4 years, toting our pedal powered sound system and all of our instruments on our bikes wherever we go, putting on shows on sidewalks, in schools and parks, and at big festivals. We have long sport cargo bikes made by Xtracycle and Yuba, which we put up on kickstands when we get to a venue. Then we engage generators that rub on the rear tire. The audience climbs aboard and pedals. The generators send DC current into capacitors that buffer the voltage and offer lightweight (crucial for long distance cycling) storage. From there, the electricity shoots into the PROwatt SW inverter. The inverter turns the DC into really sweet, smooth, pure sine wave AC, and the AC then powers our dual, super efficient, digitally powered 1000W speakers and monitors, as well as all of our accessory loads—mixer, distortion pedals, and even LED lighting. When we started out in 2007, we were using inferior inverters; they would generally last several shows and then suddenly burn out. We decided to upgrade to a Xantrex and it was smooth sailing for the next few years, through rain in Europe, snow in New Hampshire, mudslides in Guatemala, and hundreds of shows. We were really excited to learn about the new PROwatt series this year because it's even lighter and the pure sine wave means that our sound is totally buzz free and clean. We do our research to find the lightest, smallest, most efficient, most robust, and best sounding equipment that's available, and I haven't ...
